Re: Tim Hardaway: \"I hate gay people.\"
[ QUOTE ]
Also, I would actually expect far less than 10% of male athletes to be gay. Simply because it seems like kids that grow up with some sexual confusion or homosexual preference tend to be socially awkward and lack confidence as they're trying to figure things out. And it's not the unconfident, unpopular kids that you see starring on the sports teams so much.

Not sure if this makes sense - kids get hooked into sports at a young age, before sexuality is a real issue to them. By the time they realize they are teh gay (let's say highschool) they've already developed a love for the sport, also have been playing for many years.
FWIW - my gay buddy (who is a huge, huge sports guy) said about Hardaway - "Well, at least he was honest, and he's saying what a lot of people are thinking anyway."
